makes 4 cups
This recipe is from Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa Parties! This is my cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. I will not, and cannot, eat the canned cranberry stuff you buy at the grocery store. I am sorry if this offends anyone, but this is so easy and sooo good.
Ingredients
- 1 12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries, cleaned
- 1¾ cups sugar
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ¾ cup raisins
- ¾ chopped walnuts or pecans ( I leave these out due to allergies)
Instructions
- Cook the cranberries, sugar and 1 cup of water in a 3 quart saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the skins pop open (this always take me more than 5 minutes)
- Add the apple, zests, and juices and cook for 15 more minutes
- Remove from heat and add raisins (and nuts).
- Let cool, and served chilled
